The three generals left quickly and came back quickly. When the three of them came back, they were holding a booklet in their hands.
"National Adviser, this is the troop deployment in the northwest for the past three months. I checked, and there is nothing wrong with it. National Adviser, take a look."
The Imperial Master took the book from his hand, and then slowly read it line by line, until he read it to the day before, all of which were ordinary patrols and training, and he didn't see any difference.
"This is a bit strange. Could it be that I thought wrongly?"
Niu Yuanzheng was a little curious: "National Master, what do you want to know?"
The Imperial Master read through it from beginning to end, but still found nothing. Finally, he asked reluctantly: "Bring the steward here, I have something to ask him."
Niu Yuanzheng smiled and said, "I'm afraid we didn't understand what the military advisor meant. We have already brought that boy to the tent. The state advisor will wait a moment." After saying that, Niu Yuanzheng brought in a man who looked like a scholar from outside.
The man was obviously a little nervous when he saw the Imperial Master. He stumbled and said, "I have seen the Imperial Master before."
Seeing him kneeling in front of him, the Imperial Master suddenly slapped his hand on the table: "You are so brave!"
The steward was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty doesn't know what you have committed."
The Imperial Preceptor threw the booklet in front of him: "I received a tip that someone led troops out of the camp without permission, and as a manager, you actually helped to prevaricate. This is a serious crime of beheading! You still don't commit the crime according to the truth."
The steward was so frightened that he cried out: "National Master, General Jia brought fifty people with him at that time. He told us not to register for this matter. The subordinate felt it was inappropriate at that time, so he recorded the matter in another book."
"General Jia? Is he that old general? What did he do? Tell the truth."
"Last month on the fifth day of the lunar month, Old General Jia took fifty brothers out for a trip to the camp. He came back three days and three nights later. General Jia didn't say where he went, nor did he record it. I was afraid of something happening, so I secretly asked who had been there. People, then write things down in your own notebook.”
"Were you out for three days and three nights? Where did you go?"
"Went to Mount Everlasting."
Du Jie stayed in the northwest for five years. From a young boy, he finally became the vanguard of the northwest army. Every one of the generals here grew up watching Du Jie. If it weren't for this, the memories would be too bitter. Du Jie even thought that it would be good to stay here with his uncles.
When Marshal Peng helped Du Jie, he seemed to be thinking of the time when Marshal Peng, who usually didn't drink at all, got extremely drunk. Several other people were also staggering around. The eldest General Jia was already fast asleep at the table.
Du Jie looked at this group of people and suddenly felt more at ease than he had ever felt before. In the northwest, you don’t have to calculate or think about anything. As long as you give yourself completely to these people, they will never harm you. I never wanted to harm them.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Imperial Advisor and three generals slowly walked in from outside the tent.
The Imperial Master walked very slowly, with no expression on his face, but the three people behind him showed sneer expressions, as if they had caught something.
When Marshal Peng saw them coming in, his somewhat divergent eyes were obviously startled, and then he said with a smile: "Why are the four of you here so late? Sit down quickly. Please drink more of Little Du Gong's Jie Feng Wine, the National Preceptor and the three generals A few drinks.”
But the general behind said: "There is no need to drink. I will tell the general about something in the end."
"Oh? What's going on?" Peng Xianzuo felt something was wrong when he heard what he said. These people seemed to be looking for trouble. The wine immediately sobered up a few points.
The Imperial Master waved his hands at them, then sighed and said, "I didn't want to tell the Marshal about this at first, but after thinking about it, I still feel it's inappropriate."
Peng Xianzuo thought to himself that it was not good, this was a reason for being caught, but he still said politely, "If you have anything to say, Imperial Master, please tell me."
The Imperial Preceptor glanced around and asked, "Is General Jia here? General Jia?"
Someone saw something was wrong and helped General Jia, who was already drunk. However, he was old and drank too much. He was already unconscious.
Marshal Peng looked at General Jia, shook his head, and said to the Imperial Preceptor: "National Preceptor, just tell me what you have to say."
The Imperial Advisor pondered for a moment: "Okay, I was bored just now, so I looked up the troop deployment in the northwest during this period."
Peng Xianzuo frowned, "The Imperial Advisor is not from the northwest, so he has no right to check the troop deployment."
Niu Yuanzheng stood up at this time: "It's not the Imperial Master's fault for Marshal Peng's matter. I checked it without authorization. Please punish Marshal Peng. But there is something I don't want to say."
Peng Xianzuo nodded: "What's the matter?"
Niu Yuanzheng sneered: "There is nothing wrong with the recent northwest troop deployment registration, but General Jia once took fifty brothers out of the military camp and went to Bulao Mountain. This incident was not recorded, but was reported by the military manager Dictated to me.”
Everyone else was a little surprised after hearing this, but Du Jie felt something in his heart. People in the army had really been to Mount Everest. No wonder Uncle Peng didn't know about it. I'm afraid Grandpa Jia didn't report this either.
Peng Xianzuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard the Imperial Master's words. "Is what General Niu said the truth?"
"The military manager can testify."
Peng Xianzuo nodded, stood up and said to the guard beside him: "Raise the account!"
The promotion of the marshal's tent is a major event in the army. Not long after, the lights and autumn torches were lit up in the Chinese army's tent. Marshal Peng was sitting in the middle of the drama. General Jia was lying on the ground, still unconscious. The steward next to him shivered and trembled into a ball.
Marshal Peng was shocked and asked the steward below: "Steward, let me ask you, have you recorded all the recent military deployments?"
"Marshal Qi, I recorded everything one by one. I don't dare to be careless in the slightest. But... but..."
"If you have anything to say, tell the truth. If there is a reason, I will forgive you."
"Marshal Xie, Marshal Xie! On the fifth day of last month, General Jia took fifty brothers from Fengzi Camp and secretly ran to Bulao Mountain. He came back three days later. After I came back, I originally wanted to record this time, but General Jia said that he I went to do some personal business, and there weren't many people, so I didn't record it. If anything went wrong, he would take care of it. I didn't dare to disobey the general's orders. But if I didn't record it, I was afraid of getting into trouble later, so I kept to myself. Record it in another book."
"Send it up."
The steward took out a booklet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Peng Xianzuo. Peng Xianzuo opened it and looked at it carefully. After reading this I couldn't help but get furious.
"Come here, water Jia Cijun to wake me up!"
The marshal spoke, and everyone did not dare to disobey. Not long after, a soldier brought two buckets of water into the tent, and the two buckets of water were poured down together.
General Jia on the ground thought for himself, opened his mouth, and then said in a daze: "Is it raining?"
Peng Xian's left general slapped him with fear and shouted loudly
"Jia Cijun, do you know your guilt?"
Only then did General Jia clearly see the scene in front of him.
"Hey? Are you ready to drink? Boy Du, why are you looking at me like this? Is it because your Grandpa Jia didn't accompany you well?"
Du Jie saw that General Jia hadn't woken up yet, and knew that asking him now was useless. The Northwest Army's military laws were strict, and it was not a big deal to mobilize troops without permission. At the worst, it was seeking power and suspected of rebellion.
Du Jie hurriedly said to Peng Xianzuo
"Uncle Peng, calm down, calm down. You can't just listen to the manager's words on this matter. Grandpa Jia is drunk. Wait until he wakes up and we can ask him carefully. Forget it today, we will discuss it tomorrow."
Du Jie wanted to say something else, Peng Xian waved his left hand
"No need to say more, Mr. Wu An, you are no longer the Northwest Army Camp. I am the general of the Northwest Army. If law enforcement is not strict, the emperor will not agree, and the people of the world will not agree. Jia Cijun! Kneel down!" When Peng Xianzuo said this Already a little angry
Only then did General Jia realize that this was the Chinese army's main tent. Seeing the Marshal asking him to kneel down, General Jia said without knowing what was going on: "Marshal, what crime have I committed?"
Peng Xianzuo took a deep breath: "I ask you, if you answer truthfully, if you tell lies, your crime will be increased by one degree. On the fifth day of last month, did you lead the five brothers from Fengziying out of the camp?"
When General Jia heard this, he was immediately shocked. He looked around and saw the steward kneeling beside him. Only then did I know that the matter had been revealed.
General Jia knew that he could no longer hide it, so he could only lower his head and admit, "Yes!"
"Who ordered it?"
"No one lives me."
"So, you mobilized troops privately?"
"yes!"
Peng Xianzuo gritted his teeth and stared down, "Where is the law enforcement team!"
Two people walked out of the tent, "My subordinates are here!"
"What is the crime for deploying troops without permission?"
The two looked at each other, lowering their heads and not daring to say anything.
Peng Xianzuo stared at Marshal Jia, not knowing whether to tell him or someone else.
"Mounting troops privately, according to the military regulations of the northwest camp, you should be killed! Someone is coming..."
When the generals on the left and right heard that Peng Xianzuo was about to kill Jia Ci's army, they stood up in a hurry and knelt down under the tent.
"General! You can't do that. General Jia has been fighting for twenty-five years. He has no merit but hard work. You can't do that, General!"
"Marshal, Lao Jia's crime will not lead to death!"
"General, please think again."
"General, if we don't want to do battle, please spare Lao Jia's life!"
…………
Everyone begged for mercy, and Du Jie also knelt under the tent.
"Uncle Peng, my nephew has never asked you for anything. Today, I beg you to save someone. When I return to the capital in the future, I will exchange the title of Duke Wu An for Grandpa Jia's life. I beg you to save someone."
Peng Xian saw everyone kneeling on the ground, but the three generals brought by the Imperial Guard stood aside and sneered.
"The Northwest Army is indeed a family, and their relationship is really good..." These words were particularly loud among the voices pleading for mercy.
As soon as he said this, the Imperial Master stopped what he was saying, stood up and gave Peng Xian a left fist.
"Marshal, this matter is not a big deal, so let's forget about it. The four of us can guarantee that today's incident will never be spread. We also beg for mercy for the old general!"
Peng Xianzuo had been waiting for the imperial adviser and the others to intercede. If only a few of them knew about secretly leading troops, Peng Xianzuo would have just scolded General Jia. But now that these four know it, they will not be able to protect the future of the little emperor. Let's take action on this matter.
Peng Xianzuo thought about it again and again, and finally took three shots in shock. "Is there any military law? Is this the Northwest Camp? Get up! Get up! Whoever pleads for mercy will be punished with the same crime! Come here." Ah. Press Jia Cijun down and kill him!"
